    Guys,
    Now that i have Artemis in my hands, I went to get her up! but I'm not totally sure how to, and I wanted to start a build thread on her!!! She's got the motors in, but there not wired up, and part of the superstructure is done, thanks to help of Buddy! But I would like to set her up the way My LST is, Motor wise, with the 2- Pin plug and the PA 45 connectors! I have 18g wire, but I'm not sure if i can go lower then that without the the wire burning on me!! Also, The Radio I'm getting is a 2.4GHz FHSS Futaba 4YF 4-Channel Radio System! But I'll post Photos when i can so you can see how she's doing. here us the album for her: http://s575.beta.photobucket.com/user/NASAAN101/library/USS%20Artemis! I did put her in the tub today with out water, And I'll have not problem when it come to being able to mark the water line, when the time come. Which leads me to this question of how big dose the waterline need to be on her? Also, I"m looking at build a Transport Box, which will be 54.5inches Long x 6.5inches wide x 8.5inche High, but I"m looking at using Lawn mower wheels with moving cart wheel on the front so I can run with her if i run late getting the bus! Thanks for the help,
    Nikki

    My Thing is 1/8" ID hose going from the reg to the poppet, but a 1/8" Hose Quick Disconnect in the Middle. and the 1/16"Hose Quick Disconnect on the poppit and Cannon sides so i can take the hole Cannon system out of the boat!!! also, do you need the Pressure test valve for a single cannon or no?
    Thanks,
    Nikki

    I was unloading artemis from the car as we are leaving to get somestuff in to her and On one side of the boat, one hole side of the deck rim is coming off the ship and one the the cross beams broke, and she was in the trunck on the car as my mom had a brithday party and we have to move her to the truck and we pack then around her, but someone slammed the turck closed to hard, what do i do. this might set me back by at least 6-weeks..
